• Last week I upgraded my 2 year old Blackberry to the latest BlackBerry Curve 8310. So far I am pretty happy with it. I spend about an hour to customize it to my needs. The Voice Dialing is a great feature. Unlike older phones it does not require you to record all names, but it uses speech recognition on your existing address book.

The key new feature of the 8310 however is the integrated GPS. I noticed on Internet forums that a number of people have challenges using the GPS with Google Maps. I guess that’s not surprising since RIM does not advertise this feature, pushing instead the paid for maps and direction service from TeleNav. After some tinkering I have good news. Free Google Maps works great with the integrated GPS and here is how I got it to work:

1) Make sure that the GPS is working and has connection to satellites. Go to Options -> Advanced Options -> GPS -> select the menu and choose “Refresh GPS”. The display will tell you the number of satellites it can reach and your location. I noticed it does not work in my office in San Jose or in close range to high rise buildings.
2) Download Google Maps from google.com/gmm (using the Blackberry browser) and follow the instructions to install it on your Blackberry (I have Google Maps version 2.0.1). Do not use the Google Suite installer for Blackberry (which includes additional Google apps), since according to some reports has a different Google Maps version which does not work with the internal GPS.
3) Go to Options -> Applications -> Google Maps -> select the menu and choose “Edit Permissions”; Select connections and select the menu to expand it. Make sure you allow “Location (GPS)” and “Carrier Internet” connections for the app.
4) Save the changes. Go back the applications menu and start Google Maps. Hit “0? and it should now show a blinking point which indicates your current location.

The English input code is *#0044# then call button, not #0044#.

1.Edit INSTALL_DOW2.bat
change SRC=”D:\Downloads\DoW2\Dawn of War II_disk1.sim” to where the files are “C:\Down\Game\DoW2\Dawn of War II_disk1.sim” for example.

2.set DST=”D:\Games\DoW2″ to where you want to install the game.

3.Save and run INSTALL_DOW2.bat

4. after the game is installed, copy the files from the loader folder to the location where you installed the game.

5. Install Steam Client and run it once to let it update itself (For me it was installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam).

6. open rev.ini from the installation directory of the game and set  SteamClientDll to where the steamclient.dll file is in the original steam installtion, not the one that was copied from the loader folder, for example in Vista 64
SteamClientDll =C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamclient.dll

7. Install Game for Windows Live and choose offline account.

8. click loader.exe to start the game

hope this will help others like it helped me
